This week is almost over, woohoo! It has been an off and strange week for me and I am ready to end it. The 4-mile Valentine Run I did on Saturday with my sister did something awesome – they let us download the race photos for free! Normally I don’t care about them, especially for shorter […]
Hunker Down for the Weekend List
Thank you for the kind words about Smokey, it’s still a sad adjustment. And yesterday morning I had to go back to the vet for the chihuahua’s annual checkup and shots appointment I scheduled awhile back and forgot about. Not fun being back there so soon after and the pups were really not happy to go, […]
Settling into 2017
It was great having yesterday off work, we stayed home most of the day in the rainy and windy weather working on projects, hubby fixed our fence with our neighbor, I cleaned and sorted out the closet and made some other minor repairs I’ve been meaning to get to – so nice. Today was back […]
Wrapping up 2016
First I’m kind of addicted to these 2016 memes, can you relate? After trying to avoid the crap storm a negative news and social media. And not successfully doing it, ugh. There were disappointments for everyone this year. I like to see the ups and downs of 2016 as a reminder to focus on the […]
Winter Running & Leftovers
Winter is a running off-season for me, I can run in freezing temps and I’m even getting better at it and enjoying it more. Still runs are rarely impressive like Sunday’s short 4-mile run in the high 20s, low-30s. I got off to a late start because of the cold and cut it short to make […]
Thankful and Comfort Eats
It has been raining hard and windy all day today, Miko is not happy and refuses to even go into the backyard. He just wants to park it by the fireplace. Or bring me his toy for indoor playtime. That doesn’t sound too bad, wish I could have stayed indoors all day today! After this […]
Marathon Eats
Recovery is going nicely from Sunday’s marathon, getting back to running this weekend should go okay. I have been a little tired getting through the work week which is to be expected. We’re getting freezing temps and rain this week and that’s fine, getting the rain is a good thing and I’m still so thankful for […]
New V-Dog Products for the list
It’s hard not to feel a bit of the Sunday blues looking at a full work week ahead after 4 days off and lots of family fun, but getting a Christmas tree today and decorating helped while watching Prancer. I got some new products from V-Dog this week – Mini Bites Kibble for smaller dogs […]
Simple and Healthy Taper Eats
Things are kind of a blur here after two really busy days at work, Thanksgiving planning, marathon planning, Christmas planning, Rouxbe Cooking Program, and trying to help update the local vegetarian society websites. That’s all good busy though and Miko wants nothing to do with it, snuggling under blankets and in front of the fireplace are […]
Fueling the Week
Miko was not thrilled on our walk this morning, he kept trying to drag me back to the house. Because it was cold enough for frost! He didn’t appreciate me stopping to admire the pretty frosted leaves. It’s been an interesting week, hasn’t it? Election tensions are still heavy, I’ve been avoiding political conversations daily […]
